Beat the Wheel

Tue, Apr 26, 2005

Packard and Farmer become interested in roulette as college science majors. They spend three years analyzing the physics of the wheel, deriving equations, collecting data and building portable, concealable computers to determine on which eighth of the wheel approximately six numbers the ball will drop into. After the ball is released, the player times the speed and location of the ball and the wheel and the computer returns the likely eighth. Bets are placed on this group of numbers which appear random on the table. The system works well as it boosts their odds tremendously. They go on to recruit a team but the rigors of the system and hardware reliability issues force them all to retire prematurely.

He had an IQ of 169, an MBA from Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration; graduated Magna cum Laude with a degree in Economics from Yale; and possessed uncanny musical talents. Meet Ken Uston--a 38-year-old senior vice president of the Pacific Stock Exchange in San Francisco...at least during the week. On weekends, Las Vegas and Atlantic City casinos knew him as "The Mad Bomber", "The Roadrunner", "The Phantom", and other assumed names. He was the fearless ringleader of a team of elusive, handpicked card counters that terrorized the gaming industry. We reveal how this promising young executive began living a double life, ultimately emerging as one of the greatest legends and inspirations in gambling history. Featuring exclusive interviews with Uston's mentor, teammates, and family members, the program explores this iconic gambler's journey--up to his untimely, mysterious death in 1987.
